Old wooden plane. Looking for a model or type

[keithb12]

Last "what is this listing" for me. Had a couple of tools that I wanted to know the history of. As always I appreciated the insight. Humor is always a plus

Depending on length, could be a Stanley #26 through #34 "transitional" plane. They work well when set up correctly, but they're not worth anything to collectors. If you clean up the blade carefully, you should be able to see the Stanley logo.

If it is a Stanley plane, you should be able to identify it and date it through the use of these two sites:

Have fun!

Also, if it is a Stanley, it should be marked at the toe of the wooden part. Though that might have been replaced at some point. Wooden bodied planes like this are great for working on green wood but do not get much respect.

Don't get too excited. Your plane has a lateral adjustment so 1884 would be the earliest it would have been manufactured--later depending on the style of lateral and the number of patent dates stamped on it. Is there anything left of the toe stamp?

I just finished putting the final touches on my No. 35 Transitional Plane:

Basically I just threw the knife, backer plate and the hardware in vinegar overnight. The jappaning is still mostly there on the main body and frog so they just got scrubbed. I did sand and re-stain the wood parts.









According to TimeTestedTools, the marks on mine indicate it is a No. 35 Type 6 (1874-1884) except mine still has a knob with a bead around the base. I expect they used up their old supply of beaded knobs before going to the non-beaded type. For that reason, I theorize mine to be a very early Type 6 which should put the manufacture date sometime in 1874.
